1. no way
I LOVE collard greens! I really do.

But then, I love Brussels sprouts and red beets, so people already think I'm vegetably strange.

9. John, collards must be cooked right! If you don't like 'em

Southern style, try 'em Oriental style -- PM me if you want a recipe, it's really easy and works for spinach or any fresh greens.

21. Take some tea bags
stick them in big glass pitcher or mason jar and stick it outside to brew, instead of heating the water. Perfect.

I have my own recipe for cornbread, but if I get a mix I love that cheap Jiffy bread. 33 cents and it is moister and sweeter than Martha.
